Into the book
From the late 1960s to the 1970s, the country achieved remarkable economic growth, with an average annual economic growth rate of 10 percent, enabling it to rise from the lowest developing country to the ranks of a middle-income country.
Foreigners who remembered the ashes of Korea immediately after the Korean War were amazed and called it the “Miracle on the Han River.”
So, given its rapid economic growth, was the Park Chung-hee regime truly a successful one? Were the many sacrifices it undertook—the military coup, the humiliating diplomacy, the dispatch of mercenaries—an inevitable sacrifice? --- p.120
Even on April 19, it was the police, not the military, who shot at the protesters.
But this time, the South Korean military indiscriminately attacked the South Korean people as if they were destroying the enemy.
Gwangju, the city of light, was instantly drenched in blood and turned into a battlefield.
Chun Doo-hwan set an example for the entire nation by brutally massacring the citizens of Gwangju.
The point was that if anyone protested, they would not be spared.
The reckless threats must have worked, as the protests died down, and Chun Doo-hwan amended the constitution to establish the Fifth Republic, becoming president through a "sham election" that did not properly reflect the will of the people and in which the ruling party was almost certain to win.

Publisher's Review
Grandfather Kim Gu, Jeon Tae-il, and Park Jong-cheol
Stories of our country's modern history told through chat and email!!!
〈Baekbeom〉: As Taeil said before, let’s first think about what a ‘well-off country’ is.
If only some of the people live in luxury, while the majority live in misery, but the average shows that the entire country is quite well off, is that truly a 'well-off country'?
〈Reverse Stone〉: No.
We need to live well overall.
Taeil: That's right.
And instead of struggling to become rich on your own, you should also take care of your neighbors in difficult circumstances, care for the destroyed nature, and have a warm and generous heart to truly live well.
A country with so many well-off people would be the 'beautiful country' that Baekbeom dreamed of.
